It doesn't seem so,

Please check bug:

"Personal file sharing preferences dialog does not offer to install
needed packages"

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-user-share/+bug/536766

It looks like the following suggested libraries are in fact essential:

apache2.2-bin
libapache2-mod-dnssd

(Dismissal: since I use Samba and SSH, never tried this resource.)
